        April 25, 1995 - Version 3.01

        Made the History window wider so that you can view the full width 
        of the contents of SESSION?.TXT.

        April 23, 1995 - Version 3.00

        Added the multimedia alarm clock.
        Added a new log file called "SESSION?.TXT". This file keeps track 
        of all your individual logons. The contents of this file includes 
        the  logon session number, the logon time, the logoff  time,  and 
        the total time for the session.

        April 4, 1995 - Version 2.20

        The  location of the stay-on-top window is now recorded when  you 
        exit WS-TIMER.

        April 2, 1995 - Version 2.12

        1.  Rewrite  of  the code that updates  the  timer.  In  previous 
        version  some time was lost when the disk drives where  accessed. 
        If this happens now the time will correct itself.

        2.  Added an autosave feature, which will same your on-line  time 
        every five minutes. This way if you have a total crash of Windows 
        or your machine you will only loose five minutes at the most.

        March 29, 1995 - Version 2.02

        WS-TIMER now requires the environment string in your  AUTOEXEC.BAT 
        file:

        SET WSTIMER=C:\WSTIMER

        Replace  the directory and drive to reflect your setup. You  will 
        have to reboot your computer for this change to take place.

        March 27, 1995 - Version 2.00

        1.  Added a new timer in the main window to keep track  of  total 
        daily  time.  This timer is reset each day. A  new  history  file 
        called DAYHIST?.TXT will be updated daily.

        2.   The today clock will now run on top, so you can  watch  your 
        time  on-line while using any applications. You can  choose  from 
        <This Call>, <Today>, and <Month> clocks or <None> to stay on top 



        with  the  setup  option under files. When you  exit  setup  your 
        choice will saved to SETUP.INI for future reference.

        3. You can now view the history file from within WS-TIMER.

        4. Changed the font style and size to reduce the window size.

        5.  If you have more than one provider as the case was  for  many 
        users  you  will  now  be able to keep  track  of  each  provider 
        separately. Just add a letter from A - Z to your command line  in 
        your  login  script. The command line line should now  look  like 
        this:

        EXEC "c:\wstimer\wstimer.exe ON A"

        Where ON is to turn the timer on and A is to add to the  filename 
        for the three files created by WS-TIMER. Both commands have to be 
        part  of the command line. If you omit the A or any other  letter 
        all file names will end with an N.

        Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version you will  have 
        to  copy the two HISTORY files (in some older case just  one)  to 
        the  WS-TIMER  directory and the WSTIMER.INI file. All  three  of 
        these file will have to me renamed adding an A as the eight digit 
        in the name (e.g. WSTIMER.INI -> WSTIMERA.INI). This letter  must 
        be  the same as the one on your command line. You will also  have 
        to modify your command line in your login script to reflect these 
        changes.  You  will also have to modify the WSTIMER.INI  and  add 
        three rows with zero for the daily time above the others. Her  is 
        an  example  of the contents of my WSTIMER.INI I have  added  the 
        description  on  the right so you can understand the  meaning  of 
        each  numbers. In previous versions of WS-TIMER, before  it  kept 
        track of daily time the first three numbers where not saved. That 
        is  why  if you are upgrading you must modify your  INI  file  as 
        describe above, or you will loose your accumulated time.
